[680] "Again and again they sow the seed;
again and again the deva-king (devarājā) sends down rain;
again and again the farmers plough the field;
again and again grain comes to the realm;
again and again the beggars beg;
again and again the lords of giving (dānapati) give;
again and again, having given, the lords of giving
again and again go to the heavenly place (saggaṃ … ṭhānaṃ);
again and again the milkers draw milk;
again and again the calf goes to its mother;
again and again one grows weary and struggles;
again and again the dullard enters the womb;
again and again one is born and dies;
again and again they bear [the dead] to the charnel ground (sīvathikā);
but [only until] he has gained the path (magga) to no renewed existence
is one of broad wisdom (bhūripañña) born again and again."
